From sophisticated South Beach to pristine island backcountry, we’ve visited every one of Florida’s nearly 400 beaches and compiled the details in this handy guide.
Arranged by region, each listing provides directions, parking, hours, facilities, fees, and allowed activities. You know we love adventure, so we give special attention to those beaches where you can hike and camp, get to only by kayak, fish and hunt for shells undisturbed for miles (yes, these place DO still exist!).
We tell you whether the beach is handicap accessible, child-friendly, pets-friendly, if lifeguards are present, and whether you can ride horses or drive on the beach. The Florida Constitution guarantees public access to every beach (below the high tide line), and we found them all!
